Ekati Mare Lifestyle Resort

“Lovely, relaxing break!”

Would absolutely recommend this lovely hotel to people. Staff could not have been nicer, food was delicious, environment was so calm and peaceful and the whole experience was just so great.

“Excellent hospitality!!!”

We were well looked after and the staff were excellent hosts. We had an issue with our air con and they changed our room and extended our check-out time at no extra charge.

Id like to say 4.5 really, Hotel absolutely gorgeous so clean all staff super friendly. We arrived late at night and the check in was quick they had ham and cheese butties and fruit available if you wanted. The room was excellent only issue id say was we are a family of 4 and the storage is minimum we had to have our cases hanging around which made it look untidy but wasn't really an issue id take some extra hangers as 4 people's clothes to hang up and only provided with about 8 hangers but we had read that on a previous reviews and I had packed hangers, the beds are so comfy the kids (10 & 14) they had single beds but my daughter fell off a few times if she rolled over as it flipped up on one end and we realised the singles beds where actually a double but had been separated so we put it as a double and manovered it and they slept so much better. Rooms where cleaned daily and towels changed daily if you left them in a pile on the floor the cleaners were so friendly and worked hard. The air conditioning was excellent safety deposit box and an iron all provided at no charge which we aren't used to as these are always extra so was very happy. It's so peaceful the pool area was very relaxing no mad rush for beds. I watched the pool maintenance staff daily clean the pool and area and I think it's probably one of the cleanest pools iv ever been in. The food was nice what I would say is if they could have more variety for kids the pastries where my downfall enjoyed them a bit too much. Overall we had a lovely holiday here I'd rate it more than a 3 star hotel the entertainment was good loved watching the water polo games even if we did get a ball to the head a few times but we didn't mind was part of the fun. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Beautifully designed hotel, lots of flowers and hardworking staff. BUT the food was terrible and the noise from traffic and music constant. Breakfasts ok. Dinners 2*. All overcooked beyond recognition and often edibility. Salads were nice and fresh mainly because they hadn’t been fried too long and then put under a hot lamp too long. Food sometimes actually burnt so it tasted bitter. Fish twice in the week I was there and was same each time despite “theme” nights. Meats and chicken overcooked and chewy. Lots of chips, pasta to sustain kids. Practical info (if you haven’t already booked, don’t!)If you have info below might be useful. Take cash for hotel there is a charge on card transactions and cash seems to be lower price. The first atm as you turn right out of hotel allows withdrawals using mobile phone card/wallets. Pool area is very slippy when wet. Sunbeds at a premium. Everyone towel bags even though hotel asks you not to. Room cleaning is adequate but no info as to towel changes etc, every other day no info on how to adjust air con (I had a teen with me) or to reset safe and how to use. We didn’t have our coffee cups (there is kettle) washed or changed at all All the pools are at least 1.5 m deep and only steep steps to access, unless you have swim up rooms. Swim up rooms nice but will spend at least 1/2 day in shade. And there are some guests who seem to dominate playing their own music so everyone had to hear it along with the constant loud music from the hotel entertainment. Kavos is awful. Dirty. Lots of half built closed down units. Huge range of slogan. T shirts that you would pray your kids don’t read and start an awkward conversation. Some cute jewellery beads etc. lots of phallic ashtrays and lighters. No pavements so super scary with toddlers and kids as it is a busy noisy road. Beach filthy and I mean filthy. The hotel’s own beach area looked very nice but no info or map to it in hotel -turn left and 2 min walk then across the road Food in hotel was expansive but if you were lucky not bad (don’t have the poke bowl, Greek salad was lovely) and Kavos is also expensive for rubbish food. Bowl of spag Bol 15 euro. Kids burger etc 9euro. There is nice Italian nearby and also Big Max is best value. There looked to be pretty taverna on beach Rousos. Turn right out of hotel and lots of minimarts for water and eateries etc. (and those 1970s style souvenirs 🍆). Floats used in pools. Lots of people leave behind so you can grab one. But wouldn’t want to take a kid who wasn’t a good swimmer or toddler who was a”runner” as gate always open and gaps in fence at back. I feel hotel means well but is just not being run as a 4*. Other top tip if you have late departure, lovely shower available but you have to book a time slot in advance. Unfortunately this seems to be a secret. Corfu airport very expensive for food etc. Overall disappointed with this trip. But that’s Tui these days- over promises under delivers.
